Brand: Hornady90500Item: 61041UPC: 090255905007

Hornady Critical Defense Ammunition features a hollow point bullet, with a polymer tip to improve ballistic performance and reliable expansion. Bright nickel plated cases aid in visibility in low light conditions, and loaded with low-flash propellants.

Since their inception, conventional hollow point pistol bullets have performed well, but have never delivered 100% reliability especially in self-defense situations. The patented Flex Tip technology used in Critical Defense ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets. Hornady achieved this by using the same tip material as used in LEVERevolution ammunition.

All Critical Defense ammunition is loaded in nickel cases for increased visibility in low-light situations. Premium low flash propellants deliver proven performance, even in very shortbarreled handguns, and won't disrupt your vision. Reliable expansion and dependable terminal performance can be counted on for concealed carry/personal protection.

Fail to Fire - 10/2/2012

A one bullet rating on HORNADY ammo. Impossible, you think. I grew up thinking Hornady ammo was for rich people, top of the line, it didn't get any better, etc, etc. Well, in the last week, it has gone to "never buy it again." I fell for the looks of the critical defense little pointy nose with the red filling. Had been shooting Remington and Blazer but wanted a box of the mean looking Hornady to keep loaded in the hand cannon for the castle defense gun. Took my grown daughter down to the shooting spot and let her try my Colt King Cobra .357, took the Hornadys out and loaded her some .38 +p and let her shoot off about 24 rds. She was doing well so I decided to let her shoot 6 rds of Hornady .357 I had taken out to feel the difference. She had two FTFs out of the 6 rds. I was in disbelief. Hundreds of rounds of Remington and Blazer and not a hiccup; 6 rds of Hornady and 33% fail. The primers were dimpled quite well but no fire. Checked my gun, everything's fine. Back to the shooting spot, put 50 rds of Remington through the Colt - perfect. Shot the rest of the box of Hornady 125 gr FTX lot #3121835 and had 5 more FTFs, seven (7) FTFs from a box of 25. I am so disappointed but I am so glad I found out at the shooting spot and not when the bad guy was coming through the door. I buy thousands of rounds of ammo, but I will never buy another Hornady product.

Recoil is light, and looks cool... - 12/7/2011

I got this to keep in my LCR. I've shot 10 rounds of it, just for practice. With my experience out of the lcr, the recoil is light and the flash is low. I like it so far.
